Why is mechanical energy called mechanical energy?

Because it's the sum total of the energy found in a mechanical system: in other words, the motion or position of an actual object.


Explaine the law of conservation of mechanical energy?

This simply means that, as long as no mechanical energy is wasted or converted to other types of energy (and no other type of energy to mechanical energy), the total amount of mechanical energy doesn't change. Mechanical energy refers to the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Since energy losses and energy conversions do occur, this is not really a "law". In other words, the law of conservation of energy has not been known to be violated; conservation of mechanical energy is very easily violated.
